Pastel wedding portraits in Old Town

With its fresh and sunny color palette and a vintage garden aesthetic, Keeley and Jonny’s pastel wedding at The Alexandrian was a stunning celebration of love! Keeley’s elegant bridal bouquet was a study in soft pastels. The wide array of featured blooms included peach Juliet garden roses, Cafe au Lait dahlia, light pink spray roses, white stock, light blue delphinium, and pale yellow roses, accented with variegated small leaf pittosporum foliage. The finished design was full of texture and cheer.

 

Her bridesmaids carried smaller and simpler, yet similar, pastel wedding bouquets of peach roses, Cafe au Lait dahlia, white stock, light pink spray roses, and light blue delphinium, accented with variegated small-leaf pittosporum.

The groom’s boutonnière we created for Jonny showcased a festive yellow rose finished with small leaf pittosporum. For the rest of the boutonnières, we substituted an ivory rose.

The couple exchanged vows in a sweet ceremony in The Alexandrian’s courtyard. We had a wonderful time creating a striking focal point for their nuptials, with a design that evoked a magical garden. The couple’s pastel wedding arch was framed with a lush garland of variegated ivy foliage, rimming the top edge and trailing delicately along the sides. The top of the arch was accented with a romantic garden mix of Cafe au Lait dahlia, peach roses, light pink and ivory spray roses, white stock, and light blue delphinium. Accents of hearty southern smilax completed the effect.

After the “I do’s,” guests found their place cards at an escort table festooned with three vintage mint glass containers of varying sizes with a richly textured design of white hydrangea, peach stock, peach roses, light pink spray roses, light blue delphinium, light pink astilbe, and touches of variegated small
pittosporum foliage.

Keeley’s and Jonny’s family and friends then sat down to a wonderful meal al fresco in the courtyard. Half the tables were anchored with a glass cylinder vase filled with a richly textured pastel wedding flower design of white hydrangea, peach stock, Cafe au Lait dahlia, peach roses, light pink astilbe, light pink spray roses, light blue delphinium, and variegated small leaf pittosporum and seeded eucalyptus foliage. The other tables featured glass cylinder vases that held the bridesmaids’ beautiful bouquets.

The happy couple shared their first meal as husband and wife at a sweetheart table adorned with Keeley’s bridal bouquet.

Keeley’s and Jonny’s wedding was filled with soft color, romantic blooms and plenty of love! Thanks for including us as part of it!

Theres something about September that always feels like a turning point. The days are still warm, but the morning is a bit cooler. School is back in session. The light starts to change. And after a long DC summer, you do all get that first day when you can open the door and think, yes, fall really is coming. 🍁 

For me fall has always been tied to the rhythm of the school year. Kids going back to school and calendars filling up. Pulling sweaters out of the back of the closet, and thinking about Halloween before you’re quite ready to admit summer is over. 

In the studio, autumn has another rhythm. September and October weddings - arguably our busiest time of the year - paired with all sorts of fun things. Pods, berries, grasses and all sorts of funky things. 

I think there’s a reason fall weddings always feel so right. It’s a season built around change. The landscape shifts, the light softens, the year begins winding down… and in the midst of that, two people choose to begin something. 

Maybe that’s what I love about this time of year. Autumn can feel nostalgic and hopeful at the same time. So here’s to another fall wedding season, changing leaves, cooler nights (no mosquitoes), celebrations and all the new beginnings still ahead.
Classic roses. Ethereal baby’s breath. And bleached ruscus for some fashion forward style. Classic with an edge.
